Devilishly Sweet Hillshire Farm Lit'l Smokies Recipe

This post was sponsored by Hillshire Brands™. As always all opinions are my own.
One of my favorites things about Fall is the gathering of friends and families. Whether it be to watch football games with the neighbors (Go Broncos) or a holiday dinner with Mr. B's mom, brother, nephew & niece. Fall just means fun times and food! If you are attending a party, throwing one of your own or, just need a something simple to snack on, these Devishly Sweet Lit'l Smokies fit the bill!

This post is sponsored by Mom It Forward and when I was asked to create a recipe using a product from the Hillshire Brands lineup and picked up at my favorite Safeway store, I knew exactly what I wanted to use as my main ingredient.

I am also thrilled to be sharing the J4U (Just 4 U) program with you. I signed up as soon as we moved into our new home and I made Safeway MY go-to store for groceries every week. It’s super simple and after a quick visit to the Safeway website, once you sign up, you can link your Safeway Club Card up with coupons and personalized deals that fit your grocery list.

A couple of times a week they email me updates letting me know new deals have been added so I can go and digitally clip the Just for U coupon to my Safeway Club card. Another easy peasy way for me to save money on our grocery bill! And, bonus, this week there are several coupons for Hillshire Farm products so, I can make a snack and be happy knowing I saved a bit doing so!

Let's get snackin'!

Adapted from BBC Good Food

Ingredients:

katsup and mustard, to serve

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour the oil into a foil lined baking sheet and heat in the oven 3-4 minutes. Place the sausages onto the baking sheet and toss lightly in the hot oil.  Spread so that the sausages are not crowded together.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through, turning once halfway through the cooking process.  Drain the sausages on paper towel and drain the oil from the baking sheet. Blend the honey and the Dijon mustard together in a medium bowl.  Add the sausages to the bowl and mix to coat them well.  Return the sausages to the baking sheet and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Serve hot or warm with katsup and mustard on the side for dipping.

Slow Cooker Angus Sausage & Onions Recipe

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Hillshire Brand Company but, as always, all of my opinions are my own. #pmedia #buy3save3  http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO”

One of the funnest things about moving is getting to know your new neighborhood and finding that perfect store to go to for groceries.

Mr. B and I ventured out a few weekends ago and, because I needed a few items, stopped into the local Safeway store.  

I haven't shopped at a Safeway in quite a while because there wasn't one really close to our old house but let me tell you! I have found "my store".

This Safeway had wide aisles, nice lighting and we both agreed, it just felt like a small town market.  

They also displayed the food so nicely!  
Not all thrown about like a gorilla had been pawing through it. 
And that is why these packages of Hillshire Farm Angus Beef Smoked Sausages caught my eye!

Now I don't know about you but, with working full time, moving and just life in general, we get so busy! Those of you that have kids and their activities? 
I have no idea how you do it!  

Those are the times I rely on my trusty slow cooker and quick and easy recipes so that when we finally do get time to sit and eat, it's hot and ready!

Which brings us back to those sausages! One of Mr. B's favorite slow cooker meals is Slow Cooker Sausage & Onions.

You probably have all of the ingredients on hand but if you don't, this is your lucky week my friends because right now,if you have signed up for the Just For U program at Safeway stores, when you buy three Hillshire Farm products, you’ll save $3! Hurry though, this offer ends Saturday October 19th!


Slow Cooker Angus Smoked Beef Sausage & Onions

2 - 12 oz packages of Hillshire Farm Angus Beef Smoked Sausage, cut into 4-inch pieces
1/2 Cup honey mustard
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
18 ounces of your favorite beer (the darker the beer, the deeper the flavor. Since it's Fall, I used an Octoberfest style) or chicken stock
2 medium onions, quartered

Combine honey mustard and brown sugar in slow cooker: whisk in beer or chicken stock. Add sausage pieces and onions. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. Serve over cooked egg noodles.

For our dinner this night I added a romaine salad with kalamata olives and Gorgonzola cheese crumbles.

A thick slice of crusty bread to sop up the awesome sauce 
would have been perfect but, hey, I'm busy, remember?! 
I lost track of time and forgot to pick some up LOL!
